It’s my first time dealing with hydrogen production – what is the purpose of the compressor that is started up in this process?

I hope for more specifics, I’m a beginner in hydrogen production
Yes, it’s relatively small; it’s just designed to work with the existing PX
Compressors are not required for the normal production of hydrogen from methanol. The so-called startup compressor is used during the initial phase of system pressurization and airtightness testing; typically, temporary pipelines are installed to connect it to compressors in other workshops, thereby using those compressors to start up one’s own system.
The start-up compressor refers to the compressor used during the initial startup process; the procedure involved with it differs from the normal procedure, as it is necessary to bypass the reactor or the pretreatment section. The specific procedures depend on the characteristics of your facility, with common options including a start-up cycle line and a large-scale conversion cycle.
